In over our heads

Well, we bought our house last summer and have had great plans for the back yard, so we have been working on it. First of all we took out a bunch of poorly placed cemet curbing tha was in the back. The next problem was the shed. It was built on the side of the house and blocked the wide gate (RV parking) that led to the rest of the yard. Plus the location of the garden ate up like 1/3 of the grassy area. So the plan was to just move the shed over to a different part of the yard, more out of the way. Then we want to move the garden to the "rv parking" and extend the grass in to the old garden area. No problem. Right. Fast forward to March. After much cosultation and brainstorming, the only way to move the shed is with large equipment.

Here is Cam and Bryce trying to get the shed up high enough to secure some 4x4s under the shed b/c it was not built with a very stable floor.

I had the hardest job---don't let it tip over!! (ok, ther may have been a support beam that I cropped out of the pic)
Next, with Cam driving the huge forklift, the shed is airborne. Oops--that is awfully close to the awning. Better stop and consult some more. "Can we get it around the porch without tearing off the cover??" Then Cam got back in the drivers seat and had my dad and Bryce coaching him on what to do (never mind that occasionally their directions were completely contradictory.)






Oh, whew. They made it around to the back. "uh, guys, why is the door facing the fence???"

Oh, well. So we got it moved. No real damage done. I do have a few large grooves in my yard from that huge maching but the shed is moved. Now it's time to paint it. :)
